I very much enjoyed Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey which is about an elderly woman, Maud, who has dementia and believes her friend Elizabeth has gone missing. The narrator is Maud and the reader is cleverly taken in to her world. She goes to Elizabeth's house and other places she could be and when she tries to tell her daughter and others, she's brushed off. Elizabeth's disappearance reminds Maud of the disappearance of her sister Sukey in 1946. So the reader is taken to 1946 and the events surrounding her disappearance. There were only a small number of suspects. Both these mysteries are eventually resolved. This is Healey's debut novel and I look forward to reading more from her. 41/2/5
